22 and you must say, ‘Thus says the Lord Yahweh:

“Look! I am against you, Sidon,
    and I display my glory in the midst of you,
and they will know that I am Yahweh
    when I execute my judgments,[a]
    and I will show myself holy within it.
23 And I will send into it a plague,
    and blood will be in its streets.
And the dead will fall in the midst of her
    by the sword that is against it from all around;
and they will know that I am Yahweh.

24 And there will not be any longer[b] a painful thorn and a sharp thornbush for[c] the house of Israel from anywhere around them[d] from those who are despising them,[e] and they will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.”’”
